This a question that needs to be answered.

Why do men lie?
Is it to save face with their "brethens" or to satisfiy their enormous egos?
Well i am looking forward to your response.

Why do people lie?

Well, I guess they mainly do it to cover up the truth. They don't want others to know the truth.

I think you could explain what your asking alittle better. Did someone lie to you? Ramesh is right both men and women lie so whats the reason for the question?

Women don't lie? Personally I think the question should "Why do ppl lie?"

Also this sounds like you have something very specific on your mind... the mere fact that the issue of the male ego comes up. Oh women have egos too :)

Why do some women act as if only men lie? :eusa_thin
Why do some women lie about their age?
Why do some women lie about their previous relationships?
Why do some women lie by :
- wearing false hair, nails, eyelashes, etc.
- padding their bras
- crying to get sympathy and divert attention from whatever indescretion they have committed.

Hope these aren't rhetorical questions...Why do some women act as if only men lie? :eusa_thin
Cause some women act as if only men CAN lie.

Why do some women lie about their age?
Cause they don't want to show their true self or let anyone know how old/young they really are. I like to ask people to guess then I let them know.

Why do some women lie about their previous relationships?
Maybe its a cover up or a fear of reuining a certian reputaion.

Why do some women lie by :
- wearing false hair, nails, eyelashes, etc. (too obvious, why lie?)
- padding their bras (to boost breast size and give the impression that their good sis really that large.)
- crying to get sympathy and divert attention from whatever indescretion they have committed. (a woman we name....some think there is a strong need for this)

How would the questions be rhetorical? I need to be schooled here about your answer.

I dont think because women like to use comestics should be associated with lying. I dont get that as being a lie, because they dress in a certain fashion. Thats a lie to wear a certain style. Please explain? :eusa_thin

Imagine you meet a girl and she looks fabulous. You get married, and the wedding night comes. When everyone is in their natural state, she looks different - different hair, different eyes (down to the eye colour), different skin tone, no padding, etc.

The net effect is, the physical appearance of the person you thought you knew is in reality not what was originally presented to you. You were initially attracted to a false image. Now of course, if you love the person, then you would be loving more than just the physical appearance, but if that was false, it can start the wheels of doubt rolling in your head..."What else has she been false with?" :eusa_thin

The example I used is kindof an extreme, but the point is, many people (not just women) hide their true self behind some made up image.

@lisa20 men lie because...
(1) it is easy to do so.
(2) there is very little benefit to telling the truth.

Woman : Honey am I the best lover you ever had ?

Man : No

Woman : Boo hooo hooo. (Woman leaves man's house upset)

Man : Hmm maybe I should have lied ?

Here is where it gets fun !

Man : Baby am I the best lover you ever had ? Am I the biggest ?

Woman in thought : If I tell him the truth that he is horrible he is gonna feel real bad... or maybe think I am a slut.

Woman : Yes dear... your are simply amazing... my last boyfriend was teribble and so tiny... you are the king.... mandingo !!!

Man : smiles from ear to ear.

Woman in thought : Good thing I never told him jim was amazing.

So i guess... BOTH genders do it

So therefore men lie so as to not have to deal with the drama?

no lie so we don't hurt your feelings.

If women dont know that men lie and that women also lie then something is wrong.

People are people and their are no perfect people in the world. So hello, people do lie and not just one gender more than the other. I think the question should specify why do you feel men are liars. Because I dont feel that men are anymore liars than women. :rolleyes:

You mean life ?

In the scenario u mentioned earlier with the man and woman and the man told the truth. In a case like that men would normally lie so as to avoid the drama (the hissy fits and the crying) with the woman. That's what i meant.

Gillion
October 22, 2004, 08:40 PM
ahhh ok

well I know a few women are prone to "hissy fits" and some men are prone to "pouting bouts"

I think it's both..there ain;t nor either or in this...they also lie to get in your pants....but they tend to not think that women do the same thing :icon_lol: ;)

Here's a famous quote from my collection of quotes.
This one is from Woody Allen.

A man that has never lied to a woman has no respect for her feelings.

And men don't have don't have unrealistic expectation of women?

So in other words you are saying women are the reason why men lie. Doesn't sound logical to me since no one can make you do what you don't want to do, not even if they put a gun to your head. If you choose to do it then it's your own choice....maybe not an easy choice but still your own!

@ Angel well hmmmm I think in the first place the question was asked referring to male female relationships or that's the path the conversation took. So hence the way how Kevin responded.

Greatis...I recognised that and I still maintain that, that argument is a cop out. I am not saying that life is simple, but to blame some one else is just not right!

Well lies are usually told to avoid incriminating ones self. Sometimes, lies are told to avoid hurting people, when one assumes that the person being lied to, can't handle the truth. Lies are also told when one feels there is something to gain out of telling the lie.... there are lots of reasons.

Having said that... I do not believe that anything mentioned above is restriced to the behaviour of males ALONE!

Am I to assume then Lisa, that you've never been dishonest in any way, shape or form... or in any type of relationship? :eusa_thin
